Some things I haven't seen clearly defined: what exactly is addiction in the context of porn? At what point can you say that someone's porn consumption has gone from "healthy" or "normal" levels to "disruptive levels."
Just how severe are these negative effects? Negative compared to what? Coffee can give you negative effects but in comparison to meth, it's practically pristine water.
It's reason to the rescue.
For the record, I don't like the DSM's "scientific" definition of addiction or pathology. And I have reasons for it.
Too bad I got a little bored of this subject now. Maybe I'll touch on it later.
